My Gift To My 11th Sibling!

At 8 lbs 2 oz and 20 1/2 inches long, we welcomed number 12 to the family. She has made a very beautiful addition to our family!

As a gift to my mom (From Parents Of A Dozen) I gave her a Baby Diaper Cake! This is a very easy, yet beautiful gift to give.

To start, you need to role the diapers with the front side down, rolling from the open side to the close side.

In the center of the diaper wrap a rubber band twice around the diaper to hold in place.

Repeat process to all 90 to 100 diapers.

The first circle should have about 8 diapers. As you can see I replaced the middle diaper with a white onesie. This way she will be surprised when she starts to take apart the cake!

Continue to add more diapers to the bottom tier of the cake.

Make your next 3 tiers a little smaller than the one underneath it. I used wooden skewers to help keep the cake in place and to keep it standing up straight.

Once you have all of your tiers stacked, make sure you have all of the rubber bands aliened.

Cover all of the rubber bands with a ribbon of your choice.

I walked away for a second and I came back to this! Thanks number 7!! :)

I then add the flowers. As you are putting things onto the cake it may start to tilt so keep an eye out for that and try to correct it before it is too late. I was able to correct mine!!

Next I added the rest of the accessories to the cake.

Bringing a little one into the world is a very beautiful thing. You have to be very careful choosing the products that you use on a newborn baby. Did you know that within 90 seconds of putting something on your skin, chemicals seep into your pours and get into your blood stream.

There have been clinical studies done where doctors have taken a urine sample and told the patient what kind of fabric softener she/he was using!
